Why equity is more than just the right thing to do

What is the economic value of college?

We often talk about the benefits to an individual’s lifetime earnings, but what about the return for our society? Improving college equity increases the number of Americans with a postsecondary degree or credential.

College leaders can build support for broad reforms by focusing their messaging on how investment in equity means we can “do well by doing good.”
